Omar Minaya said all the right things and as far as Jerry Manuel, Craig is really upset that he will no longer be able to do his dead-on impression of the Mets former Manager.

The 8 o’clock hour was all about the Mets, as the man who is in charge stopped by and paid Boomer & Craig a visit. Jeff Wilpon faced the music, literally and figuratively. The guys grilled the Mets COO on just about everything you could think of. Bottom line is the man wants more wins and he vowed to get the ‘family business’ back on track.
